Miss These Girls

I have been feeling so lonely lately here in Rexburg and cant wait to be around my wonderful family again! Love you guys.

What A Guy

Last night I was watching TV while Ruger was asleep on my lap when Cody walked in the room and into the kitchen saying:

Cody: How are you the cutest thing that I have ever seen?
Me: Who are you talking to? (smiling because I totally thought he was talking about me)
Cody: Ruger... Duuhhh...
Me: ohhh
Cody: (After thinking about it for a minute) You see Ruger is the CUTEST thing I have ever seen, but YOU are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen!
Me: Nice save mister! :)

Haha... I don't care if he was being sarcastic and trying to save his butt, that little comment melted my little heart. : ) Love that man!

Kerby Family Picture Preview 2011

 The day before my little brother was married everyone came to Rexburg to the BYU-I campus so that we could do a family picture while everyone was all together. (Our last family picture was taken years ago before my brother went on his mission, so it was good to get an update.) Our photographer was KatieWells and she did a phenomenal job. She was really great with Teryns little girls and all in all just did a wonderful job with out pictures. I cant wait to see the rest of them! :)

 Teryn, Russ and their adorable little family. : )

 The Newlyweds

 All the girls. : )

 Father and Son

The Mortensen's Came to visit!

 Cody's Family came in town this past weekend and it was so nice to see them! I haven't seen his parent's since Christmas time last year so it was nice to have a chance to catch up. On Friday we went to Jackson Hole (if you have never been there I highly recommend you go!) Jackson is SO beautiful! We loved walking around and going into all of the cute little shops, I tried on a mink fur coat that was on sale for $80,000! Seriously why would someone spend that much money on a stinking coat?!? Crazy people! ha...

 On Saturday we went hiking around at these beautiful ponds that Cody and I found last year. Sheridan was hilarious and stuck to her moms side like glue because she was afraid of the animals. Towards the end of our hike she loosened up a bit and would leave about a foot or so in between her and whoever she walked with lol... She is such a doll.

 See what I mean?? She is going to be a heart breaker!! No Doubt!

 I love this picture of Cody and his little sister. So sweet. :)

 Sheridan still scared to death of the animals that we (DIDN'T) see lol... She was a little tired too so I don't blame her for being grumpy.

 Cody's cute momma. I love my In-Laws! Seriously they are the best and have so much love in their hearts for everyone. They along with my parents have helped me to realise what I want for my family, and the kind of mother I want to be in the future!

 Sheridan and me walking up to the "cool" rock that I told her about. I told her that it was the neatest part of the whole hike because you can see everything from there and no one else knew about it except for Cody and me, so naturally she let go of her momma and jumped on my back so I could show her our neat discovery.

 Check out how beautiful this place is!! I Love it!

 Sheridan and I on our discovery rock. haha... She didn't want to get off of it for a while.

 Karson and Sheridan headed back to the truck.

Bang Bang!

 We <3 shooting guns! We went shooting with this cute couple last week and had a blast!

 My hubbs is so Dang SEXY!!

Whew! What A Weekend!!

My little brother is married!! He and Lexie were married Friday Oct. 14th in the Idaho Falls Temple. The ceremony, luncheon and reception were beautiful. I am so happy for my little brother, he chose the most amazing young women to be his wife. They are literally the nicest couple that you will ever meet and I am so proud of them and the decisions that they have made in their lives. : )

Cody and me after the wedding. (Cody and I were married in the IF Temple so it was really great to have the opportunity to go back to and be in the sealing room, and bridal room. I may have cried just a wee bit ha...)

So in the state of Idaho shooting a moose is a once in a lifetime opportunity and to draw for a tag is pretty much non existent but my insanely lucky husband put in for a moose tag for the first time this year in one of the hardest areas to draw in (they gave out 5 tags total) and guess who drew?? Yup that is right my hubbs did. He was OVER the moon about drawing the tag and would go out every Saturday for the past 4 weeks walking miles upon miles trying to find a moose never having an ounce of luck, we literally never saw another animal I can honestly say that we didn't even see a dang squirrel! So Dumb!! So I decided not to go with him on Saturday and mister Cody shot himself a moose (guess I am bad luck). What makes this hunt super cool for Cody was that he shot the moose with his bow and arrow when usually it is close to impossible to get close enough to shoot a moose with a bow. Good job babe!

So to make the story even more interesting while we were gutting the moose out Cody's knife slipped and slit his wrist and missed his artery by a centimeter! After that happened we put a tourniquet on his arm and wrist rushed down the mountain as blood ran down his arm and drove an hour to the ER to get him all stitched up and checked out. I cant tell you how grateful that I am that he didn't hit his artery because that situation could have been a lot scarier if he had. After Cody and I finished in the ER around 1am we went back out to the moose spot where we were lucky enough to have Cody's Buddy's and cousin go finish gutting the moose for us and we helped pack it out. We got home around 5:30am with over 400lbs of meat. Thank you everyone who helped us, you ROCK!! : )

Don't worry be happy! 

Rolo Cookies!! YUM YUM YUM!!

Rolo's cookies!

1 package of Rolo's
1 box Devils Food Cake mix
2 eggs
1/3 c. oil
Mix cake mix, oil, and eggs. Take a small ball of dough and form a ball around the rolo. (Only use enough dough to cover the rolo so it can spread through the cookie.)
Place on greased cookie sheet and bake at 350 for 7-8 minutes. Yields about 3 dozen..

A friend of mine posted this recipe on facebook and I thought that I would give them a try, let me just say they are AMMMMMMAIZING!!!  And I thought that it would be rude not to share this magnificent treat with everyone else! Oh and the best part about them is that they are oober wonderful for us women who get their monthly present and just have to have something sugary! I mean come on who doesn't LOVE the combination of chocolate and caramel?? (If you say you don't, or that you don't get sugar attacks then I am going to have to kill you! ha...) Yum!

What The....

                                                        Since when are little brothers allowed to get married?? My little brother is getting married this Friday for time and all eternity to my beautiful soon to be sister in law Lexie in the Idaho Falls Temple. I am so proud of my little brother and the wonderful young man that he has become, I know that he will be a wonderful husband to Lexie and I wish them both the best. (even though every time I look or talk to him I still see him as my little kid brother wearing dragon t-shirts and playing with all of his "cool" army toys. haha... he is going to kill me for that one.)  Love yall!

Don't worry, Be happy my friends!
